To me this reads as racist or culturally hegemonic in some way. Yellow peril shit. Tell me (please don’t) how a few Chinese webcomics have given you special insight into the entire culture of modern China.
Dogshit methodology + confirmation bias = China bad.
Hilarious. Do you think that media has no influence on culture? (and vice versa)
Obviously yes, it’s a small window, but I’m mostly interested in how “algorithmic” economic activity on a large scale could influence political attitudes. You rude prick. Now go back to endlessly reciting your mantras. Stay narrow minded.

Obviously media and culture exist in a feedback loop and reinforce each other.
Obviously yes, it’s a small window, but
Unless you are immersing yourself in a culture and have a visceral and well-grounded sense for the cultural trends (if you’re Chinese and live in China and actually have your finger on the pulse then my apologies! — but I don’t think you are) then it’s shitty methodology to think you’ve got any valuable insights into Chinese cultural trends from reading some translated manhua.
Your original comment got removed for “chauvinism”, and that’s probably the best word for your comment, especially in the context of responding to a post dunking on spreading vacuous “China bad” propaganda with no substance. Go ahead and criticize China on real grounds if you want.

idk wtf you’re trying to say here.
You rude prick
Now this irks me. I was being so restrained and polite! I didn’t even verbally attack you in anyway, I focused on your statement rather than on you. And for being polite to you, you call me rude? Fine, I’ll be rude to you.
Bahaha hilarious. BTW I said the same thing about the “philosopher” youtubers 20 years ago who over time became a gateway to reactionary and fascist ideology. “It’s worrying”.
If I was part of the CIA and wanted to subvert China I’d invest in manhwas who “just happen to” promote the kind of hyper-individualist or divisive or amoral ideology. Just a few donations over patreon, no need for qui pro quo, just filter to cultivate the right kind of poison.

Anyway I understand your tribalism.
